The slick mahogany neck, with deluxe rosewood fingerboard, employs the Fret-King long-tenon neck joint, which mates precisely to the body underneath the neck pickup, forming a rigid fixed bond between neck and body, maximizing the retention and transmission of the Elise's fundamental acoustic properties.

Fret-King WVC double coils give the Elise a voice with unassailable authenticity, definition and the power required for everything from mellow jazz to full bore blues. Fitted with the Fret-King Vari-coil, the WVCs can be progressively wound back to emulate a P90, or produce sparkling traditional single coil tone. The Elise sounds just like it looks, and then produces voicings never associated with this style of guitar, but which would be at home on Ocean Boulevard or a Nashville `Honkey Tonk'.

I love my Elise! Perfect for my style of playing. Jazz, blues, and a little R&R.

What is your opinion of this product?

Really nice construction, finish, hardware and attention to detail. Very effortless to play. The guitar is light weight and balances on my leg in a sitting position perfectly. The tones I can get using my Fender Blues Jr. III amp make me smile really big. The set up is perfect out of the box. I didn't need to adjust the truss rod or action. Needed a slight tune on two strings for intonation. I haven't bought a new guitar in 25 years and I'm amazed at the quality you can get now days for a modest sum of money.
I'll update my review if I run into any issues in the future. I'm extremely pleased with Fret King!

What started as a simple string and pedal sales catalog has grown exponentially over the past thirty years. The early days were a time where catalogs didn't have much of a presence in the industry, but what began as a college dorm room operation grew rapidly. In 1986 we moved to a full product offering and 64-page catalog, which over the years has grown to 162 pages. Join the AMS family and get your free catalog now!
